The authors assessed the impact of self - defense training for women on multifaceted aspects of perceived self - efficacy. As compared to a waiting list control condition, training increased self - efficacy perceptions not only for self-defense skills but also across a variety of domains, including self - defense abilities, sports competencies, and coping skills. Trained participants also experienced a significant increase in more global aspects of personality, including perceptions of physical self - efficacy and assertiveness. No changes were detected on a trait measure of global self - efficacy; however, there was a significant change on a composite score of a multidomain self - efficacy questionnaire and on several domain - specific subscales, indicating that trained participants experienced a boost in multiple domains of self - efficacy not directly tapped by the intervention. Implications for constructing more sensitive measures of coping skills generalization effects are discussed.
